You can try Speedfan and msi afterburner Neither software shows CPU Temps. 2020063020215347.png 2020063020240483.png Hard to say, as this CPU apparently lacks the necessary exposed sensors for TAT or Coretemp to work . Do you have a CPU temp. value shown in the BIOS ? It is not guaranteed to be …

I can't tell if its thermal throttling because CoreTemp tells me nothing. Is there any other way to know if I'm thermal throttling? I just put a fresh dab of paste on when I was swapping out the power supply. Filename 2020063020090788.png File size 310.14 KiB Views 1243 views

That didn't work either.

Well, I can't even find these "period correct" drivers since the earliest NVIDIA's letting me download is 275.33 from 2011 even though IIRC the card came out in 2006. Annotation 2020-06-30 182936.png Is there any other sites I can go to to get old drivers? I'm looking on Oldapps right now and I see …

I have this old XP machine, a Dell XPS 400. A lot of older games seem to be running fine but there's plenty of other's that doesn't run well at all even though my specs should be fine for those games. Tony Hawk's Underground 2 for example, I'm getting major spikes of stutter every time I do tricks. …

Trying to get Slave Zero working properly. I got it working about 10 minutes ago but a restart of the game basically broke everything. I can't move my mouse and the game is taking up two of my monitors. Does anyone know what to do? Looks like it's ignoring my monitor's resolution and it's running at …

Wasn't there a setting in DXDIAG.exe to force the refresh rate ? (last tab) This also does not work I suppose ? doing that fixed it, thanks! now i'm kinda running into another issue where i can output 1280x1024 at 75hz yet i can't output 1280x1024 at 60hz, nvidia control panel just says that its …

Didn't see your question on the gpu and the monitor lol GPU is a Geforce 7900 GS, monitor is my ASUS WX238H. Both a direct connection and through an HDMI splitter have the same problem. Makes no sense since it does support 75hz at 1280x1024, 1024x768, etc., and it does output 75hz on the desktop. …

EDID (Plug and Play Monitor) should do that. But maybe the graphics card or the monitor are just too weak to make higher refresh rates. I just don't get how thats possible. I can output 75hz on the desktop. Especially since its a 7900 GS, pretty sure its capable of outputting games at 75hz (and it …

diagon_swarm wrote on 2020-01-02, 21:44: That was a normal behavior in 2000/XP. Use any refresh-rate fixer tool to overcome this.

Trying to run some games on my old XP machine and I can't seem to get games to output 75hz. They always output 60hz at 1024x768. I have my Windows set to run at 75hz, why isn't it outputting at 75hz in game? video of the issue: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZhFX8GsC0fY https://i.imgur.com/gu2lbuh. …

Will X have a bottleneck with a Y or vice-versa? These questions are meaningless when we don't know what you will do with it. Oh crap, my bad dude. Didn't think about it. I had this computer since I was little. I upgraded the graphics card late last year. I've been doing gaming on it for years but …

My Compaq Presario 5000 US is kinda poopy when playing games. It has a 1.6 GHz Pentium 4. I upgraded the video card to a GeForce FX 5900 XT (originally it was an FX 5200). I'm not sure if its either a CPU or GPU bottleneck OR the computer is just slow. I might swap out the hard drive and reinstall …

Hey, my VGA capture solution is with an Etekcity VGA to HDMI upscaler with an Elgato Game Capture HD, but it doesn't show the bios or boot, just the XP boot screen and everything else. Also, 640x480 is cut off, and I believe 800x600 makes it crap out. Does anyone have an inexpensive upscaler that …
